used plenty of bondo to cover it up.
I'm no body man, I have no body tools. I do have a Oxy/Ac torch and
experience
with welding/brazing. I'm looking for some good reading material. Can anyone
recommend a book detailing TR floor/rocker replacement?
Can anyone who has done this repair comment on the difficulty of the work?

Jeff:
I highly recommend the book "Practical Classics and Car Restorer Triumph TR6
Restoration," ISBN 1-873098-27-8. It is available at some of the larger book
stores, and I think TRF, Moss, and VB also carry it. It is a complete
step-by-step photo record of a restoration of a VERY bad TR6. Just the thing
you need.
Good Luck!
